Collateral sources of information are found in the form of interview data collected from friends, relatives and/or co-workers or business associates of a patient undergoing a medical-legal examination. However, only rarely are collateral sources of information available and used in evaluations for the court. Most typically this occurs when there is some barrier to collecting data such as might occur with a person who is developmentally disabled, deceased, or who might be unable to communicate if, for example, they have suffered a severe cerebral stroke or other mentally debilitating central nervous system injury.
